Robert Spencer's new book is called Religion of Peace? Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't. The director of Jihad Watch says since that fateful day six years ago, the left has become increasingly vocal in its disgust for American Judeo-Christian values, and pushes the idea that all religions -- particularly Islam and Christianity -- are the same when it comes to violence and extremism.
According to Spencer, the website TheReligionOfPeace.com documents more than 9,000 "Islamic terror attacks" and murders he says were perpetrated since September 11, 2001, in the name of Islam and justified by Islamic texts. He explains that the "left" compares that enormous figure to a few isolated incidents that were not necessarily perpetrated by Christians.
"People like Rosie O'Donnell -- mainstream media figures and purveyors of moral equivalence -- are essentially saying that over 9,000 terror attacks are equivalent to [Oklahoma City bomber] Timothy McVeigh, who wasn't actually a Christian at all, and to a few abortion clinic bombers, of which there have been less than a dozen," he asserts.
Spencer points out that the abortion bombers were repudiated by mainstream Christian groups. "There's no Christian group that is at all mainstream that says that the abortion clinic bombings were justified or right according to Christianity," he notes. In contrast, says the author, there is a "widespread understanding" in Islam that it is part of the responsibility of Muslims to "wage war in order to subjugate non-Muslims."

Hope Rather Than Hate
If America does not come out and vote for conservative polititions in this upcomming election, our country will see a rollover mentality toward terrorism. Without hate, but rather, with hope watch this you tube video and be reminded of one of many reasons why to vote conservative.

The Rape of Europe
This article was sent to me via email. It provoked thought in me, so I need to provoke thought in others by posting it.

Subject: Europe,
The Rape of Europe By Paul Belien
The German author Henryk M. Broder recently told the Dutch Newspaper "DeVolkskrant" that young Europeans who love Freedom, better emigrate. Europe as we know it will not exist twenty years from now. While sitting on a terrace in Berlin, Broder pointed to the other customers and the passers-by and said, "We are watching the world of yesterday." Europe is turning Muslim..
Broder is sixty years old he is not going to emigrate. "I am too old," he said. However, he urged young people to get out and "move to Australia or New Zealand. That is the only option they have if they want to avoid the plagues that will turn the old continent uninhabitable." Many Germans and Dutch, apparently, did not wait for Broder's advice. The number of emigrants leaving the Netherlands and Germany has already surpassed the number of immigrants moving in. One does not have to be prophetic to predict, like Henryk Broder, that Europe is becoming Islamic. Just consider the demographics.
The number of Muslims in Contemporary Europe is estimated to be 50> million.
It will double in twenty years. By 2025, one third of All European children will be born to Muslim families.
Mohammed is already the most popular name for newborn boys in Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and other major European cities.
Broder is convinced that the Europeans are not willing to oppose Islamization. "The dominant ethos," he told De Volkskrant, "was perfectly voiced by the stupid blonde woman author with whom I recently debated. She said, "That it is better to let yourself be raped than to risk serious injuries while resisting." Further, she said, It is better to avoid fighting than run the risk of death."
In a recent Op-Ed piece in the Brussels newspaper De Standaard the Dutch (gay and self-declared "humanist") author Oscar Van Den Boogaard refers to Broder's interview. Van den Boogaard says that to him coping with the islamization of Europe is like "a process of mourning." He is overwhelmed by a "feeling of sadness.""I am not a Warrior," he says, "but who is? I have never learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it." Consider that in all of Europe no one under the age of 65 has picked up arms in defense of their country. That task has been borne by the United States since Germany's surrender in 1945.
As Tom Bethell wrote in this month's American Spectator: "Just at the most basic level of demography, the secular-humanist option is not Working." But there is more to it than the fact that non-religious people tend not to have as many children as religious people, because many of them prefer to "enjoy" freedom rather than renounce it for the sake of children. Secularists, it seems to me, are also less keen on fighting.
Since they do not believe in an afterlife, this life is the only thing they have to lose. Hence they will rather accept submission than fight. Like the German feminist Broder referred to, they prefer to be raped than to resist. "If faith collapses, civilization goes with it," says Bethell. That is the real cause of the closing of civilization in Europe. Islamization is simply the consequence. The very word Islam means "submission" and the secularists have submitted already. Many Europeans have already become Muslims, though they do not realize it or do not want to admit it.
Some of the people I meet in the U.S. are particularly worried about the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe. They are correct when they fear that anti-semitism is also on the rise among non-immigrant Europeans. The latter hate people with a fighting spirit. Contemporary Anti-Semitism in Europe (at least when coming from native Europeans) is related to anti-Americanism. People who are not prepared to resist and are eager to submit and they hate those who do not want to submit and are prepared to fight. They hate them because they are afraid that the latter will, in their struggles against the coming oppression, endanger their lives as well. In their view, everyone must submit. This is why they have come to hate Israel and America so much, and the small band of European "Islamophobes" who dare to talk about what they see happening around them. West Europeans have to choose between submission (Islam) or death. I fear, like Broder, that they have chosen submission - just like in former days when they touted the slogan, "Better Red, rather than dead."
Europeans apparently never read John Stuart Mill who wrote: "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

God's Peace
Gus' first Christmas. (2006) You can tell his mind goes so fast. When will mine slow down?
When someone wishes me God's peace it always strikes me.
I am very high strung-ADD-hyper-intense-and more. Even when I am calm my mind is going at warp speed. My brother in law once told me that he thinks all people have a little Bi-Polar dissorder in them. I don't have enough symptoms for a diagnosis, but my mind sure does go faster than it should for good health.
Is God's peace escaping me because I can't slow my mind down? Retorical of course, but not retorical too.
When I was young my body went as fast as my mind. Now by body stays about one hundred thoughts/steps behind.
I wonder if this Blog will take the place of the Harley I want so badly, and can't afford.

The Thirsting and Sonsofday were at our place
Click above post title to go to The Thirsting's Myspace
From left to right: Daniel, (The Thirsting) Joseph, Mary Kate, Matt, (The Thirsting) and Bogden.(Sonsofday)
These guys have a great message for people. I like more traditional music for mass, but this upbeat stuff tells a good story too. Daniel wears the brown scapular and is very old fashioned prayerful. Scotty from Sonsofday is pictured left. the pic was doctored up to look cool by Jessica.
Sonsofday and The Thirsting on stage together while they get ready.
Top: Josh, Tommy, Mat, and Chelsea From The Thirsting. Bottom: Vlad and Roman from Sonsofday.................................................................................................................................
TimmyBaugh stuck his neck out for our community and booked these two bands and only about 40 people showed up. One hundred people were needed to break even. Timmy wrote a check for $350.00 or so from his personal account. Hopefully next time the turnout will be better.
